Transaction train

Here's an update on the Patriots' latest moves -- there have been a couple recently.

-- Re-signed left-handed pitcher Keith Ramsey, who was 6-7 with a 3.76 ERA as a starter last season. Ramsey is expected to join the team Sunday in Newark.
-- Center fielder Anton French signed with the Mexican League's Tijuana Potros. He homered and doubled Thursday night for the Patriots in his last game. He has been placed on the inactive list and said he "hopes the door is open to return" in August.
-- Signed 39-year-old Triple-A veteran Alan Zinter. Zinter can play a multitude of positions and spent parts of two seasons in the majors. He was the Mets' first-round draft choice way back in 1989. He will join the team during Sunday's game in Newark.
-- Don't forget, the Patriots still have an agreement with former Yankees pitcher Brandon Knight. He is expected to join the team May 30 and could eventually become the closer once he loses his rust.


In the meantime, second baseman Danny Garcia is in right field for tonight's game at Bridgeport. Garcia played some center field at Triple-A for the Yankees last season, but was doing well at second so far this season. He is best known for playing second for the Mets during the bleak Art Howe years.
